Bill > S1782

This resolution designates February 4, 2026, as "New College Day" in Florida to honor New College of Florida, which is described as the state's unique public residential liberal arts honors college. The resolution highlights the college's mission to provide a high-caliber liberal arts education, its curriculum that blends classical learning with modern skills, and its academic system that encourages independent study and critical thinking. It also acknowledges New College's national recognition for academic excellence, value, and student success, its recent enrollment growth, the recruitment of new faculty to maintain a low student-to-faculty ratio, its significant economic impact on the region, the establishment of its athletics program, and its core belief in teaching students how to think rather than what to think.
